Accounts Receivable Accountant
Indexed description
We're looking for an Accounts Receivable Accountant who combines strong collections instincts with a process improvement mindset, someone ready to own the receivables cycle end to end and make a real impact on how we manage cash flow at scale.
What you'll be doing
- Chase outstanding payments and overdue invoices, proactively following up with clients to ensure timely collection.
- Upload and manage invoices on client portals, ensuring accurate and timely submission per client requirements.
- Chase and follow up on purchase orders from clients to enable invoicing and unblock payment delays.
- Liaise directly with clients to resolve payment issues, billing discrepancies, and account queries.
- Support day-to-day accounting activities, including journal entries, AP/AR, and bank reconciliations across multiple entities.
- Analyze P&L and balance sheets, contributing to accurate month-end financial reports.
- Handle purchase and sales deferments, intercompany billing, and subscription accounting schedules.
- Apply knowledge of transfer pricing requirements, VAT return filings, and group accounting.
- Maintain and reconcile accounting schedules (prepayments, accruals, deferrals).
- Support monthly close, audits, and compliance.
- Work with large datasets and apply advanced Excel formulas for financial analysis, including AR aging and collections tracking.
- Identify process gaps and implement automation or internal controls to improve accuracy and efficiency in the receivables process.
- Use Stripe for payment reconciliations and subscription tracking.
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance (ACCA or CPA in progress is a plus).
- 5+ years of accounting experience, with a strong, hands-on focus on accounts receivable, collections, or credit control — not just AP or general ledger background.
- Proven experience chasing payments, managing purchase orders, and liaising directly with clients on billing and payment matters.
- Comfortable owning client-facing conversations around payment and billing issues — soft skills matter here as much as technical skills.
- Familiarity with client invoicing portals.
- Strong understanding of subscription-based revenue and accounting schedules; SaaS background is a strong plus.
- Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, IF formulas) and comfort working with large datasets.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills for effective client liaison.
- Detail-oriented, proactive in process improvement, with a sense of ownership over the work produced.
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
- Stripe
- ACCA / CPA
- Exposure to VAT filings, transfer pricing, or group/intercompany accounting
- Join a fast-growing, international SaaS company where finance drives global scalability.
- Real ownership of the receivables cycle, with direct visibility into cash flow impact.
